In front of an oval long table in the National Assembly Hall, in the East Wing Hall, eight party leaders were seated: Zhang Zhigao, president of the China Democratic Party, Sun Wen, president of the Liberal Democratic Party, Kang Youwei, president of the Dagong Party, Jiang Zhi, chairman of the Iron and Blood Society (retired naval major), Lan Tianwei, president of the Xinghua Party (retired brigadier general), Baron Han Xinhuo, president of the Youth Party, Tan Sitong, president of the Komeito Party, and Lu Daoming, general secretary of the Social Democratic Party.

The political party led by these eight people, which holds 95 percent of the seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives, and more than 80 percent of the seats in the provincial and county assemblies, has continued to develop, mature, and integrate under the representative system that has been in continuous operation for 20 years, and its tentacles have extended to all levels of society.

Among them, the alliance composed of the three parties (including its predecessor) has nearly 20 years of experience in coalition government, and has taken gradual reform and conservative stability as its basic political views, but there are many factions within the three parties, disputes are one after another, and they lack a firm program. Even so, due to its strong administrative resources, the support of the chaebols and the military, and the fact that they are both pioneers of constitutional government, and have rich experience in elections, the ruling coalition is still quite stable in terms of the results of the general election in the first year of the constitution.

The three radical nationalist political parties of Tie Blood, Xinghua and Youth are the political forces that have gradually emerged in the past decade, and they are favored by the military because of their advocacy of militarism and "respect for the emperor", and they also have great influence among the younger generation under the age of 25. powerful, so it gained a lot in the first year of the Chengxian general election. The three-party coalition is also known as the "Nationalist Front".

The Komeito Party, which upholds democracy and people's livelihood, defeated the Grand Ducal Party in the first year of the constitution's general election, became the third largest party in the House of Representatives, and formed a so-called "left-wing coalition" with the Social Democratic Party, which advocates social democracy, claiming to represent the interests of workers, peasants and the petty bourgeoisie, and advocating the improvement of people's livelihood and democracy. We oppose the reckless use of military force and the interference of military personnel in politics.

"No way!" I only heard Tan Si, the leader of the Left Alliance, shouting angrily, and the meeting was full of gunpowder at the beginning, "Absolutely not, this is an excuse, an excuse for the warlords and magnates to destroy the constitution!" ”

"Please explain to President Tan, who are the warlords and magnates?" With the book "Military and National", Lan Tianwei, the leader of the nationalist front, who became the "general standard-bearer of iron-bloodedness", asked with a sneer.

Tan Sitong did not give in: "Whoever trades the flesh and blood of the people for the wealth and prosperity of his small group is a warlord and a powerful man!" ”

Lan Tianwei slapped the table: "Then what kind of thing is the guy who talks black words and puts black guns behind the emperor's ** who fights bloodily for the country and the people!" ”

"Don't be bored, you two have something to say, say it well." Kang Youwei was busy making peacemakers. Sun Wen leaned to the side and hugged his arms silently, which was enough to show the attitude of the two to the unprecedented "national unity" case.

In fact, as early as two days before this meeting, Zhang Zhigao privately discussed with them, patted his chest and promised to make a pass, Kang Youwei was quite complaining at first, but as soon as he heard that there was the emperor's meaning in this, he turned to claim 100% support, Sun Wen was submissive at first, and then turned around and said that he still had to listen to the opinions of senior party cadres. At this point, it's not surprising that he is riding on the wall.

The so-called "national unity" bill is to emulate the German Reichstag after the outbreak of the European war. It was legislated by the National Assembly, voluntarily relinquishing all powers provided for in the constitution, and handed them over to the emperor and delegated them to the wartime cabinet. Among them, there are additional conditions according to national conditions, that is, the committees of the National Assembly, as the advisory bodies and supervisory bodies of relevant departments, praise the major policies and report the governors.

Zhang Zhigao is not worried about Kang Youwei and Sun Wen.

Kang was a staunch royalist, and although he had also protected the Qing emperor, he and his Confucian disciples proved to be less loyal to the Aixinjue Luo clan than to the constitutional monarchy, which was a prerequisite for the successful reorganization of the ten-year-old royalist party into the Grand Duke Party after the establishment of the Liu dynasty and remained in the ruling coalition. Kang's constitutional monarchy proposition. Originally, it was between the early enlightenment of the European continent and the constitutional monarchy of the German Empire, so if the German Empire could do it, why not the Chinese Empire? Not to mention in his opinion. The courtiers should have "admired the holy will", and the heart of the country should be the holy lord of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no doubt about the sainthood under the current empress. Therefore, since His Majesty intended to do so, the courtiers should be sincere and judgmental in order to comfort the Holy Peace.

"Constitution? The constitution was originally man-made, for the sake of the emperor and the empire, wouldn't it be enough to create another law? ”

This is Kang's basic attitude towards constitutionalism.

As for Sun Wen, although he also has a little ideal, so little ambition, so little principle, so little indomitable, but he is in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself, and his basic plate of the Liberal Democratic Party is still nationalism and a little righteousness in the rivers and lakes. What are rivers and lakes? Underworld? Not necessarily, some of them can be regarded as China's original ecological chambers of commerce, trade unions, and peasant associations, but unlike the new type of agricultural industry and commerce unions, these people do not care about democracy and human rights, they only want practical interests, cash or official positions, as long as they are given enough benefits, they are willing to do anything, but they still have some influence in backward areas with outdated ideas. In this way, the Jianghu Party is naturally a good lackey of the government, cheap and sufficient. The fly in the ointment is a bit smelly and a little poisonous.

To put it simply, long before talking to Sun Wen, Zhang Zhigao had already sent his subordinates to collect all the elders of the Liberal Democratic Party, so he was so confident.

The nationalist front is different from the Jianghu Party, they sincerely believe in nationalism, iron-bloodedness, and militar-nationalism, sincerely respect the emperor, and wish that the empire would kill all sides and dominate the world, and because of this, they are even more dangerous. But it is far from time to consider their danger, they are needed in times of war, their activities are doping, every poster, every article, every speech, every drama, is the morphine and ecstasy that the government wants people to swallow. As long as it is conducive to war and to the emperor, these people will do whatever it takes.

"Lives can be thrown away, let alone a few pages of waste paper (referring to the Constitution)."

Lan Tianwei once proudly said to Zhang Zhigao, but it made Zhang Zhigao feel a little sad - 20 years of constitutional practice, but he has cultivated parliamentarians who regard the constitution as waste paper

What still needs to be done is this left-wing coalition that does not eat hard and soft.

Dealing with them, Zhang Zhigao is still a little confident.
